We lost Regis : well, easy come, easy go : it served us well but only a fool thinks anything is forever in this game. the origins of this war fade into disputed history and become largely irrelevant : what you guys need to consider is how long you want it to continue for the longer it goes on, the higher the price to be paid in treasure spent, the greater the cost in lost trade : Now, we know ziggy can afford it (see note below), maybe a couple of others in your guild can afford it : as for the rest, I guess no-body has asked them anyway : so I will : how long can you afford it when the great stream of treasury pay-outs dries up?
Ziggy : we applaud your continuing financial support of the game : seriously ; its great that players commit to keeping the game going and free for those less well-off. that's not a wind-up statement, its for real.
The jokey bit is us asking CJ for a commission on credit purchases caused by our wars
